Store brand knock-offs weren't that big back when Crystal Pepsi was around. Nowadays, if Vanilla Coke does any business, every store chain comes out with a vanilla cola.

The MD Code Red I saw was in a display in a Target store a couple days ago, with half the shelf Code Red and the other half LiveWire in 20oz. bottles.

I'm going to edit my post and put up a link to a Japanese web site that lists all sorts of colas and sodas from Japan, America, Australia, and Europe. There's a drink called Miracle White Cola. I can't read Japanese, but they mention Crystal Pepsi a few times, so it might be a knock-off that's still being made. http://www.colawp.com/colas/400/cola442.html

That's what they did with Pepsi Blue about three months after it came out. They took it out of the vending machines to make room for something that would sell better. It doesn't mean that it's being cancelled right away.
